POI Factory Hot Dog Shop discussion

Thanks for your input. The Newington was already in the system, the Canton was not (It has now been entered as well)

Callahan's Ft Lee location is no more.

My contrib under Pittsburgh restaurants (PA Places.csv) has the Brighton Hot Dog Shoppes of western PA; you may want to include them as well.

You may also look at Holly Eats for any that you may be missing. He has a great list and I noticed several notable places you do not have.

http://www.hollyeats.com/HotDogPage.htm

My personal favorite is a blue truck called Dominick's and he's been parking at the same spot since 1959. (-73.864195,40.71903) Sorry, no address.

Must be out of gas by now! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I was 10 in 1959 and lived about 2 blocks away. I can't say for sure but it may be the same truck as well. The guy that started it is dead and his daughters run it now. If you are interested they use a 6 to a pound dog made by Sabrett.

ANYWHERE in NEW YORK OF COURSE!!!

I will look into these as soon as I have a free minute (or two).

Small chain of hotdog stands in the capitol district.

HOT DOG CHARLIES

They are about 4" long and they put chili sauce, onions and mustard.

Added all but the last one. It seems to be a dup of the one just above it. (Only the phone number is different)

It has now been added.

Here in Michigan, we eat our hot dogs with chili, mustard and onions. (note: that stuff they use in Cincinnati, is NOT chili)

The debate here could rage on for ever about which is better, but either of these is great:

Just look for the purple building with the bright yellow trim.
Actually, this is already in the Nuvi 350's built-in POI's.

Here's an addition for you. Chris' Hot Dogs in Montgomery, Alabama. Opened in 1917. They have a unique sauce and most Montgomery natives love them. The dogs are a bit on the small side and are (in my opinion) overpriced, but they taste pretty good.

and by the way: that stuff in Cincinnati is TOO chili !

Please change the Longitude and Latitude to the format used to submit POI Files so that it is easier for our maintainers to enter things.

Thanks,

Miss POI

Thanks
They have been submitted.

Thanks. I'll know for next time. Sometimes I can be such a n00b!

NOTE: coordinates converted to decimal

-->renegade

Thanks,

Much appreciated.
I have updated the file.

The coordinates in line 242:

-78.84756,72.98145,"Ted's","2312 Sheridan Dr
Tonawanda NY 14150"

are incorrect. They point to a snowy mountain top somewhere near the top of the world.

I have checked the co-ordinates and came up with:
-78.847948,42.980976
The file has now been updated to reflect these numbers.

As was stater before, the lat should be 42 not 72. Sorry.

No problem.... we all make mistakes (Except me of course )

If you had a hankering for a hot dog in Canada you might want to try any of the Harvey's locations as they are the only national fast food outlet along with A&W who sell hot dogs.

Done on the grill at Harveys's they are great!!

For those not familiar with Harvey's they have been around for over 50 years.

You have the original Tony Packo's, but here are some more in the Toledo area (all on www.tonypackos.com):

I have "Captured" the 270+ locations and am in the process of entering them...

Thanks

Funny, I don't recall submitting twice. But the correct coordinates are 41.851288, -87.971992 as above.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Costco Dogs. $1.50 for a dog and a drink just can't be beat!

They use Hebrew National 1/4 pound dogs and steamed buns. Just basic dogs at a great price...

Okay, another place other than Costco that has awesome dogs is the Great Hawaiian Hot Dog Co in Honolulu. They have stands at quite a few of the typical tourist places and some off the tourist routes (used to have one outside of CompUSA on Ala Moana before it closed). Last time I was in Honolulu I hit the stand at the Ward Warehouse. The Garlic Sauce is what really sets this one apart.

Cant find an address other than Mall Security, but Google Earth has the position as:
21.292587, -157.852096
